To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HUGH Snxosrnn, n oit-izen of the United States,residing in the eity ot' Buffalo, in the county ol Erie ond State of NewYork, linve invented certain newnnd usefnl Improvements in Teo-Kettlespfwhich the following is a speoitieation.

My invention is an improvement in sheetxnet-.il ten-kettles, eitherspun, stamped, or otherwise brought into shape; and it consists in theconstruction of the hnndle and en1s,wliere by the seine are renderedmore durable and the handle is inside ensily removable when required,all ofwhieh will be fully and clearly hereinafter shown, described, andeloinied by reference to the aeeoniipnnying drawings, in which- Figure lis n. boek elevation ofn tenvkettle and handle. Fig. 2 is o. sideelevation ol' the saine. Fig. 3 represents n sninll portion of the topol' the kettle in section, also a Cross-seotion through one of the earsand :t portion ot' the handle in position to be disengaged from itsconnection `with the eers, showing also the ineens for attaching theeers to the top of the kettle. Fig. 4 is n perspective vienof one of theparts (enlarged) of the enr before being put together. Fig. 5 isoseetion in line A B, Fig. S, of the outer shell or onse of the enr.Fig. 6 is e. section through n portion of the handle, showing the way inwhich the sides of the handle ure nttnehed to the Wooden portion. Fig.is n top View of the kettle, the cover, the spout, n portion of the enr,and the handle being left off. Fig. 8 is a top view of the enter onse orshell of the enr; and Fig. 9 is o section through the outer ense of theenr in line C D, Fig. 8. 1

In said drawings, l represents the body of the kettle. It is inode ofany suitable sheet inetal-suoh es copper, brasstin-plete, teand isstamped or spun or otherwise broughtinto shape in any Well-known Way.

The cover 2 is made and put on in the usual Way.

The top portion, 3, ot" the kettle is nitide hori- Y zontnl and dat, soas to receive the ears The7 ore composed of nn outer onse or shell, 5,open at the bottoni, and having e. long nerrow slit or opening, 6,through the top. The bail or handleholding pieee 14 is inode of n singlepiece of sheet metal, and is bent so es to Serial No. 185,207. (Xomodel.)

leave the hole 8 for the pins 9 on the handle l0 to poss through, :indthe tiro ports ll and 12, whieh lap together. ns shown in Fig. 4.

The lint portion 3 of the kettle is provided with two slits or openings,13, one on eneh side ofthe kettle directly opposite oooh other. An endView of one Ot' the openings 13 is shown in Fig. 8. In fastening theears ot the kettle they ere putj ust over the openings 1S, so that theopening 6 will loe directly over thein. The port let is non' slipped inthrough the opening il in the onse 5, and down through the openings 13in the top of the kettle. The two parts ll and l2 are then bent so as tolie up against the under side of the top portion, 3, of the kettle,nsshown in Fig. 3, nl'ter which they Etre soldered by n tinninnssoldering-iron in the usuel wey, so thnt all the ports ere. firmly'secured together.

7 represents the Wooden portion ol' the handle. The inetollio portionsl0 nre iliade of sheet metal, having n portion eut through nnd the part16 bent the other wey, so ns to lenve n. breee to strengthen theseportions. (See Figs. l, 2, end 6.) These nietnl portions l() nre seenredtothe wood portion Z by n disk ol'l thin metal, 1S, (see Fig. 6,) havingits edge thrown over, ns shown, and nre prevented from turning oy havingn sharp-pointed tool driven in so es to produce the points l), or in anyother well-known ivny. rIlle ports l0 are then seonred to it oy n screwor neil, 20. and nre prevented 'from turning by e drop of solder at thepoint 2l.

The handle is connected to the kettleears by means of the pins 9. (SeeFigs. l, 2, and 3.) lt is turned over on its side, as shown in Fig. 3.This brings the side or edge :there the raised portion 22 on the breastof the kettle, so that the pins 9 een be entered into the openings S,and when once entered the spring of the handle keeps theni in plone.When the handle is turned np, ns when the kettle is being lifted, or forany purpose brought into the position shown in Figs. l and 2, the lowerends, 23, projeet down loelovi7 the top of the ridge 22, and nre thenprevented from eenling out, so that the kettle may he usedaudthe handlewill remain securely nplnoe; but tis easily reinove l,\rhen required, by`first renioving the cover from the kettle and turning the handle downto one side, es shown in Fie. 3.

TOO

This brings one of the narrow sides of the I handle above the raisedportion 22, in which position the parts of the handle having the pins 9muy be sprung; toward each other, and the pins 9 thereby drawn out fromthe holes S in the eers, and the handle thereby removed.

It will be seen that the handle is made of thin sheet metal, so thntitslower portions are flexible enough to be thus removed.

24: represents the ordina-ry tea-kettle spout, and is secured to thekettle in any well-known way.

I claim as my inventionl. ln n ten-kettle, the ears 4 and e flexiblehandle provided with lower projecting parts, 23, :1nd pins 9, incombination with the raised portion 22, whereby the handle may be easilyremoved when required or securelyv held in place while being used,substantially as doscribed.

2. The combination of the ten-kettle having the openings 13 in the topportion, 3, theshells 5, provided with narrow openings 6, thesheet'm'etal-holding` pieces 14, formed so as to leave the eyes 8 andthe two lower bent portions, 11 and 12, lying close together and passingdown through the openings 6 in the shells 5 und through the openings 13,and having their lower ends bent up against the inside top of kettle andsecured by solder, substantially as described.
